840004-11 Datasheet
Crystal Input Interface
The 840004-11 has been characterized with 18pF parallel resonant
crystals. The capacitor values shown in Figure 2 below were
determined using a 25MHz, 18pF parallel resonant crystal and were
chosen to minimize the ppm error.

LVCMOS to XTAL Interface
The XTAL_IN input can accept a single-ended LVCMOS signal
through an AC coupling capacitor. A general interface diagram is
shown in Figure 3. The XTAL_OUT pin can be left floating. The input
edge rate can be as slow as 10ns. For LVCMOS inputs, it is
recommended that the amplitude be reduced from full swing to half
swing in order to prevent signal interference with the power rail and
to reduce noise. This configuration requires that the output
impedance of the driver (Ro) plus the series resistance (Rs) equals
the transmission line impedance. In addition, matched termination at
the crystal input will attenuate the signal in half. This can be done in
one of two ways. First, R1 and R2 in parallel should equal the
transmission line impedance. For most 50 applications, R1 and R2
can be 100. This can also be accomplished by removing R1 and
making R2 50. By overdriving the crystal oscillator, the device will
be functional, but note, the device performance is guaranteed by
using a quartz crystal.
